Overview

If your worried about your child's development and not sure where to get assistance, Pediatric Educational and Diagnostic Services (PEDS) is here to help you navigate the process. Our programs are approved by New York State and funded through Erie and Genesee Counties and New York State. We can assist you in determining whether your child qualifies for one of our programs. We'll work with the county, your child's pediatrician, or your school district to determine whether your child needs special help and if so, we can provide the needed services through our staff of skilled therapists and teachers. The goal of PEDS is to help your child succeed in learning and play. Each child has a unique set of abilities and needs and our experienced clinicians work within each child's environment along with your family members, caregivers, teachers and friends. We create a therapeutic program especially designed for your child and continually adapt the techniques and instruction as your child changes, grows and progresses. Through play and fun-filled activities, our clinicians guide your child along the path toward achieving his or her full potential.
